Liberty. It’s a simple idea, but it’s also the linchpin of a complex system of values and practices: justice, prosperity, responsibility, toleration, cooperation, and peace. Many people believe that liberty is the core political value of modern civilization itself, the one that gives substance and form to all the other values of social life. They’re called libertarians.

Sen. DeMint: Obama Administration Wants to Steamroll GOP

In an interview last week on Heritage Foundation’s Istook Live!, Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC) said that the Obama administration “actually wants to steamroll what’s left of the Republican Party here in Washington.”

During a discussion with host Ernest Istook about the “fiscal cliff”
negotiations, DeMint said “taxing the rich” is not a plan. “Republicans
are willing and ready to work with the president on dealing with these
issues, but it’s hard to work with a leader who has no plan. And you
can’t compromise with someone who hasn’t put a plan on the table and
told Americans what he really stands for.”
Critical of Republicans who have caved in negotiations with the
president in the past, DeMint admitted, “So the president has got what
he wants…he wants us to raise taxes, and wants to cut the military, and
this is the result of a very bad deal that the Republicans were willing
to make, over a year ago, and we’re paying for that now.”
DeMint, who has headed the Senate Conservatives in the past, was mocked by some in the mainstream media for winning only three of nine Senate seats for conservatives, and yet still urging Republicans to resist calls to moderate their positions.
In response, DeMint said,
“We will certainly face many battles in Congress in the coming months
that will give us the opportunity to clearly articulate the failures of
liberalism and the common sense of conservative alternatives.”
DeMint insists that Republicans not make another deal that will hurt our economy in the long run. He asserted,
“…the key thing to remember here: the government is not short of
revenue. In fact, last year, we were near historic highs as far as tax
revenue. We’ll probably have all-time high revenues coming in from
taxpayers this year. So, the country doesn’t need more money; they need
less government.”
Urging that Republicans not concede this point, DeMint asked, “Are
they going to carry the conservative message and be principled about it?
Or are they going to try to weasel out of this by capitulating and the
president gets what he wants in tax increases and cutting the military?
The only thing else he wants is for Republicans to discredit themselves
with their base.”
Regarding the Obama administration’s approach of making its victory
appear much larger than it was in order to steamroll the opposition,
DeMint said that while the president will keep pushing his agenda, “I
don’t think any of those who have been portrayed as breaking their tax
pledge will actually vote for anything the president will support
because there are conditions.”
DeMint said he believes the president and some Democratic Senators
want to “go over this so-called ‘Cliff’ because it gives them a chance
to get what they want in terms of higher taxes, and they believe the
mainstream media will blame Republicans and it will hurt us more than it
will hurt them.”
DeMint referred to the paradigm of the liberal Democrats and the
media as one in the same. “…they generally believe in a collectivist,
big government society, and they see the government as a key player in
our economy and our culture, and anything we suggest otherwise is alien
to them,” the senator said.
Believing that the best conservatives can do now is to work with and
through the Republican governors and state legislatures, DeMint observed
that, “at least temporarily, we’ve lost the battle in Washington and
the best we can do here at the federal level is to keep the federal
government from stopping those states from doing the right thing!”

Story about global warming again on the news.The gods have the freedom to rapidly accelerate global warming because of unregulated Chinese industrialization. And they are using it.Whereas US industrial regulation combined with automotive smog devices had contained emmissions, the shameful emmissions at the hand of the Italians which allocated the financing of chinese growth will ultimately kill our planetThe gods must abjectly hate the Italians:::They ruined our cultures, eliminating Old Worlds around the globe, they destroyed our societies and now they will be used to ruin the planet.Intelligent design:::Everything the gods do has purpose. There was purpose in the Italian boot, the Scandanavian penis, the sheep of Europe and the SFBA Beast. Chinese/Asian slanted eyes is yet another. Designed to make them/some look evil, they are a warning to other races. What is occurring with enviornmental degredation is living proof and may be the reason why they have this appearance.Never forget the shameful experience we each had in 2008 when the Chinese desperately tried to clean up the envionment in Beijing.

Recall the $5 trillion Republican scam where W set up the evil Democrats to sign the credit card receipt.Expect some portion of the $5 trillion stolen from the United States creatively went to the Catholic Church, positioned to bitterly complain they lost their affluent white parishoners for poor Latinos and the US is all their doing anyways. I always suspected there has been a skim on the US General Fund (1/3) all along. And the gods are using these clone host fakes to kill Planet Earth::::The puppeteer pulling the strings, ironically.

Jesus is a false god.There is no Satan. The world around us is all the god's doing:::You have to be tested with temptation.Christianity is a test.Muslim misery? The gods claim they are trying to "help you". The gods control everything, choreograph all that we see, including Isreal's relationship with Palestine, an "obligation" for their money-grubbing acceptance of the Evil Empire's billions. They also control the Italians, victims of the Moorish invasion/rape of their women, positioned in charge of this false reality through Christianity.The gods created all this to position this reality you experience today."Earning" is temptation. It is a lie leading people into Damnation. Any hope of the Muslim world regaining the power they once had is long since over and it will never, ever return. Their acts 0f terrorism are only hurting them in the eyes of the gods.The gods claim they are trying to "help you", but they also stoked your pride with your regional superpower status of centuries ago, rendering their efforts today merely destructive, a very bad sign. This means the gods have major problems with your people.Never forget:::The gods work in mysterious ways. A mortal trying to understand may envoke their wrath. You shouldn't need to.

I believe the gods relocated the Jews to another planet before the Holocaust began to give them additional time before Earth fell into the social decay Christianity and the United States is responsible for. I suspect this favor included some/many of the Native America peoples as well.Unfortunately for Muslims you didn't have the favor necessary to be allowed such generosity. I believe it is due to your mysogyny, your belief women are inferior to the men. This does not include veiling, which is a positive for the people and helps maintain decency within your society.Orthodoxy is always the best course of action because, as I have repeated, old is mostly good and a little evil, while new is mostly evil and a little good. This applies to Islam as well.
